What a difference one soft decision makes 22:14 - Mar 10 with 1850 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

Not just on the pitch, but on here! All the nappy crappers can have their moment of glory when it was so close to them shutting the fück up and disappearing.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Money never guarantees success... (Leicester, ourselves and many many other clubs)

Equally it does give you an advantage. Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water.

We are not the sum of our parts, not functioning as a whole that the 2 promotions team did.

The bigger issue behind all of this which is creating all the unrest is we are not progressing. Hence the frustration across all spectrums.

We can all focus on various aspects...the key is what we dont know what is happening in house. Kieran looked super frustrated this evening so its not lost on him.

Nunez for me was a big loss, despite big spending in other areas there is always a bit of luck. Nunez brings this team to life going forward and we lack a bit without him.


Philogene being able to produce something for nothing is key as well. We don't really have another player like him who, when on form, can unlock defences in the manner he does.

You honestly dont think a side that net spend what ever of £140 mill etc. Shouldn't go to Wrexham and stoke and not concede 8 goals....

If money doesnt buy you better plahers than other clubs. Why spend it at all?


Don’t you start as well. Have you forgotten every lesson 23/24 taught us?

Too many people are losing the plot tonight. I’m out. Hopefully some sanity and logic will be back tomorrow.

I think the net spend has eff all to do with it.

If it was week in, week out then yes.

It isnt, but it gives the likes of you ammunition to spout your crap


No one has said its week in week out though waveney.

Ive not said anything this evening that is untrue.

I said to my son missing nunez is massive

What was his PPG. 2.4 or something when involved.


Unsure stats can lead you down a rabbit hole. Players are humans and professional athletes in general are constantly managing niggles or worse.

However I maintain that our decision making and lack of grit (subjective)is costing us.

Is that tactics, injuries, skill mix or mentality I dont know. The only people who do are the ones sitting in the dressing room at full time.

As fans we see the output of all these components in game.

We are leaving ourselves a promotion mountain to climb. If that means playoffs so be it, but personally I want to see progression. That is fair no?

Not at all

Stoke however are not the town side of 23/24 so its irrelevant

Apart from one poster at HT telling KM to fk off out of here. Ive not seen any others losing the plot.

Again not sure you have done anything on this thread to warrant the responses, bar the previous history.

Jump off TWTD and give it 24 hours let emotions subside.

One post makes it unreadable versus the reams of posts from the negative ninnies?

And if their opinions are allowed, why isn't mine?


What opinion? At least they have some football ones post match, rather than just posts like this desperate for a reaction. I’ve seen Leeds fans less insecure about their team than you and a few others on here.

Your opinions are equally valued but please lets not make this about the fan base.

We all are corncerned about the performances this season. Some go deep into individual players and some go too light.

What matters is that overall the team have some basic failings that cannot be masked by soft decisions. Dont get me wrong that peno decision was awful (however can see VAR upholding it) the key issue we keep getting into these areas and not dealing with them.

What is your view? Honestly moving away from nappy crappers, happy clappers, bed sheets etc.

We aren't performing consistently at levels we expect. Fair?


Exactly.

so we are all either nappy crappers or happy clappers on here now apparently. Can you be both at the same time? Can't work it out at 5.14 in the morning.

Absolutely spot on

Thin margins..... but the way it will go, the result suits the negative posters more than than the postives.

I was just making a point on the fickle nature of football support - how one little thing in someone's mind (the referee) changes the mood of thousands. Without that this board would be full of praise for the stirring comeback. There would be optimism that this is the turning point, kind of like the Saints home game when we last went up. Amongst the players too.

Yes there would be a few grumbles about it not being a great performance overall. But they'd be quickly shouted down. Most people would be too happy to care.

"We aren't performing consistently at levels we expect. Fair?" No, not really. We could always do better of course. But 3 wins and 2 draws in our last 5 is pretty decent I'd say - and those 2 draws could quite easily have been wins if it weren't for soft refereeing decisions in injury time. If we were sat here with 5 wins from 5 would anyone be bemoaning the consistency?

This is my point on how moods change on almost nothing.

We had a horror show defensively in the first half last night, but actually I thought the overall performance was pretty decent. We had more than enough chances to win. And actually we still have one of the best defences in the league, so what we saw there and at Wrexham are largely anomalies.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

“ actually I thought the overall performance was pretty decent”

That’s fine you are entitled to that opinion, I for one think one dreadful 45 mins and one decent one isn’t good enough. KM himself said we weren’t good enough in the first half.

Now we sound like an entitled parachute fanbase blaming the ref every week, when in the wider season we’ve failed to turn up at away games far too often.

We can call it a soft decision but at the end of the day we were playing Stoke reserves.

Every time we tried to play quickly we opened them up and looked dangerous. Unfortunately that didn’t happen enough and the first half was appallingly bad - so bad, it’s actually inexcusable.

Stoke made 5 changes from their last game, and we made 2. They lost their best player in Sorba Thomas, and we arguably lost ours in Nunez.
It was hardly "Stoke reserves".
